gb news. >> good evening, gb news. >> good evening , team. it's >> good evening, team. it's 8:00. and i'm laurence fox. coming up on the show this evening, i'll be discussing the case of patient st or human being. swedish katherine walsh, as she may and must rightly be remembered from now on. we will also be talking about the furore around russell brand allegations. i will also be asking my wonderful panel was rishi right to u—turn on rishi sunak right to u—turn on net zero has gone to school become an optional extra for kids and our footpaths racist. of course they are . plus i'll be of course they are. plus i'll be getting all your reaction to tonight's topics and of course you will be putting me on the spot again. that's all up spot again. that's all coming up after the news polly

after the news with polly middlehurst . lawrence middlehurst. lawrence >> thank you. well, the top story tonight is that the home office has been ordered to stop construction work on a former raf base that was set to house asylum seekers west lindsey district council in lincolnshire served an enforcement and stop notice, saying it was clear there had been a breach of planning control. the government planned to house up to 2000 people at raf scampton . in other people at raf scampton. in other news today , labour says all news today, labour says all major budget decisions would be checked by the office for budget responsibility if it gets into government. sir keir starmer said it will ensure what he calls the mistakes of liz truss's so—called mini—budget leading to high prices aren't repeat . and the government says repeat. and the government says the former prime minister's budget wasn't to blame for higher prices. but the labour leader says this plan will bring stability to britain's economy . stability to britain's economy. >> a year ago, huge damage was

done to our economy and people are still paying the price that can never be allowed to happen again . so this is a pragmatic, again. so this is a pragmatic, sensible measure. already other people are coming out, you know, former permanent secretaries, leading economists saying this is a good idea for the stability of our economy, but this is focussed on working people and the that they've been the pain that they've been through that through because of that disastrous just a disastrous mini—budget just a year ago . year ago. >> now, as you've been hearing, a judge has ruled that a 19 year old woman who died after losing a legal battle with an nhs trust can now be named sadiq. she tyrone welsh, who had a rare mitochondrial disorder, wanted to travel to north america for a potential clinical trial. however the unnamed nhs trust had a fundamental disagreement with the teenager's family over what was in her best interests dunng what was in her best interests during the hearing, the court of protection heard that ms tirumalai told her psychiatrist, i want to die trying to live her family said she was one of a

kind and after a year of struggle and heartache , we can struggle and heartache, we can finally say our beautiful daughter and sister's name in pubuc daughter and sister's name in public without fear. >> she is sadiq. she is sadiq thermals, not sd. despite our grief and the continuing shock over everything we have been through today, a part of us is at peace. so diksha was a wonderful daughter and sister who we will cherish forever . who we will cherish forever. >> the government's refuse whether to confirm that hs2 will connect central london with manchester. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, says no decisions have been made, but suggested costs are getting out of control. under secretary for transport richard holden said work on the project is underway. >> what we've . already got at >> what we've. already got at the moment with hs2 is spades in the moment with hs2 is spades in the ground right across the country. billions of pounds have been invested in hs2. country. billions of pounds have been invested in hs2 . to in that been invested in hs2. to in that first route up to birmingham and we've got tens of thousands of people working project

people working on the project really up parts of really opening up parts of depnved really opening up parts of deprived parts of north london and parts of central birmingham. if you go there, you can see the transformational effect that it is happening. but it's right also government ensures also that the government ensures that all of these big projects are looked at properly in the round costs kept round and the costs are kept under . under control. >> us gb news across the uk on your tv, in your car, on digital radio and now on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. this is britain's news. channel >> there was a bite in the air this london morning as the autumn sun did its best to warm the quiet streets . crossing the the quiet streets. crossing the threshold into the royal courts of justice and on towards the dubiously named court of protection . protecting who protection. protecting who exactly . that bite inside the exactly. that bite inside the cavernous and imposing central hall became positively arctic , hall became positively arctic, far off in the distance stood a

family huddled together like lost children in a giant's playroom, stooped in grief, awaiting an appeal for their right to speak their beautiful daughter's words in public. for the first time. i want everyone to know . i want everyone to know to know. i want everyone to know what is happening . these are the what is happening. these are the words of their daughter , shah words of their daughter, shah thermal . for those who haven't thermal. for those who haven't heard, sidhique shah was put on a pathway to death by her doctors, despite being assessed as fully conscious and sentient by two separate psychiatrists dragged weak and in the last precious moments of life into legal proceedings by her local nhs trust hell bent on finishing her off as soon as possible . the her off as soon as possible. the judge sided with the trust, saying that she was clearly delusional because she is conveniently insisted that she wanted to die trying to live . in wanted to die trying to live. in addition to this horror , the

addition to this horror, the imposition of an orwellian transparency order correctly defined as a gagging order, meant that a family who should have been home with their loved ones mourning of their ones mourning the loss of their daughter instead in this daughter were instead in this cold, austere building for one last chance to remove the gag wrapped suffocatingly around their mouths and the mouths of how many other families on a blanket basis to protect our nhs . the reasoning for this order was ostensibly to stop harassment of any clinicians involved, despite none having aired any concerns directly, but more obviously it exists to protect the nhs from real scrutiny and genuine accountability . i scrutiny and genuine accountability. i must scrutiny and genuine accountability . i must confess . accountability. i must confess. as i saw, the nhs trusts not insignificantly small legal teams shuffle into court. one could be forgiven for asking in a time of such great financial needin a time of such great financial need in the health service, how much this affair had cost the taxpayer finish , taxpayer from start to finish, and why they're still trying to silence sidushq even as the poor

girl lies dead and gone on. and why a serenely dignified, yet broken mother is weeping once again before a cold and clinical courtroom for the most fundamental of freedoms . first fundamental of freedoms. first denied the freedom for a chance at more life and now denied the freedom to speak about it . freedom to speak about it. unnecessary evil and profoundly cruel. after submitting wins from both sides and from the press about the damage done to trust when such draconian reporting restrictions are placed upon families, the judge ruled that they could finally say their own daughter's name. yippee there are other aspects to this case. i'm sure will come to this case. i'm sure will come to light in time, which may well reveal the more sinister reasons why the nhs trust fought so hard to silence the family . but guess to silence the family. but guess what.7 they're subject to a transparency order as well . we transparency order as well. we live in a post—christian world.

dwindling congregations of followers search for dwindling places of worship . so many have places of worship. so many have turned their back on god only to prostrate themselves at the feet of the diversity demons . this is of the diversity demons. this is nothing new. but even the ethical standards of judeo christian societies are fast disappearing and becoming ever fainter. echoes of a time when life was more precious and more outwardly meaningful , rooted in outwardly meaningful, rooted in duty and courage rather than succumbing to the unending modern, inward reflections of narcissistic personal identity . narcissistic personal identity. the courts are woefully unequipped to deal with society's rudderless morality, devoid of even the shadows of a higher authority falling upon the fallen , choosing instead to the fallen, choosing instead to impose lock and key restrictions on reporting in the family court and the court of protection. one wonders. well, i don't actually how many more families and parents are silenced and superseded by judges in the name of protection . what other evils? of protection. what other evils? no that isn't too strong a word.

a muffled and blanketed by unchecked and nihilistic paternalism . in this inverted paternalism. in this inverted world where free speech is under threat like never before. in cases of tried and sentenced in the media, where due process is flung out with the trash aided by sneaking party members and their bill due to cancellation in the courts, silence reigns . in the courts, silence reigns. perhaps it might be time for to us reflect on how quickly the foundations of society are crumbling beneath us like cheap concrete and what, if anything , concrete and what, if anything, we would like to do about it . we would like to do about it. should we be asking ourselves whether we want to be a nation attached to a failing health service or whether we wish to be a nation functioning a nation with a functioning health service attached to it? or asking ourselves or should we be asking ourselves whether justice muted in the whetherjustice muted in the secret is any justice at secret dark is any justice at all? seditious brave family have put this round of egregious wrongs right. but more secret battles lie ahead for them. we

can only hope that they finally have the beginnings of closure . have the beginnings of closure. to mourn their beautiful daughter openly, to share photos of her last birthday in hospital, a treasured memories finally released from the locked box of man's imperfect justice. time to organise a funeral to say goodbye instead of being terrified of breaking the laughably titled transparency order for doing so . time and order for doing so. time and time again throughout the heanng time again throughout the hearing came the voice of a broken family, speaking as one as all too often happens in cases of such extreme circumstance, it is the same cry may what we have suffered and what we have been put through. neven what we have been put through. never, ever happen to another family again. never, ever happen to another family again . and i will leave family again. and i will leave you with the words of siddiq's brother vashan his shaking hands clenched tightly around the family's statement as he composed himself to say , we are composed himself to say, we are deeply concerned at how we have

been treated by the hospital trust and the courts . we have trust and the courts. we have been gagged side , silenced, and been gagged side, silenced, and most importantly , prevented from most importantly, prevented from accessing specialist treatment abroad. we did not look for this fight. this fight came to us from a system that she readily gives up on life . we were gives up on life. we were brutally silenced , intimidated brutally silenced, intimidated and taken to court in our hour of need . so joining us this of need. so joining us this evening are doctor malcolm kendnck evening are doctor malcolm kendrick and paul huxley from christian concern . dr. kendrick, christian concern. dr. kendrick, have i been too brutal in my verdict ? there verdict? there >> well, i think well, it's obviously these are highly emotive areas and they're difficult to get right . you difficult to get right. you know, i've been involved in deaung know, i've been involved in dealing mainly with elderly patients who are reaching the end of their lives and quite

often you have to make harsh or i would say harsh decisions or decisions. hopefully in the best interests of the patient. i think that , you know, i don't think that, you know, i don't know why there was a transfer currency or some people call it a gagging order here, but i do know that in liverpool, when we had them , another child with had them, another child with with mitochondrial dysfunction , with mitochondrial dysfunction, that there was an awful lot of aggression towards the doctors in the trust. and they were in fact quite often insulted. and i believe one of them may have been physically, physically attacked . so i think that whilst attacked. so i think that whilst these things sound harsh, the emotions run. so high. and i do think you know, we can't just see it as if you like, you know, the doctors are not involved or not horrible people trying to white people out. and i think that that is you know, they're often very concerned about what they're doing and they are all very concerned about what they're doing. and the courts are listening sides of

are listening to both sides of this thing. i that this thing. and i think that we need try not to make it a need to try not to make it a battle of us versus them. the evil nhs versus the versus versus good or whatever. however this is presented because it really , you know, having been in really, you know, having been in these situations, i've never beenin these situations, i've never been in a court situation like this . being been in a court situation like this. being in these situations is very, very difficult and hopefully the family will agree with the doctors and that happensin with the doctors and that happens in most cases . the happens in most cases. the family agree. the patient agrees. doctors agree. these agrees. the doctors agree. these are very rare events. and the hospital will have been very reluctant to have taken this to court. so i think i'd like to try and present it as as you know, bad decisions can be made . the gagging order sounded quite harsh when you read about it, but but i think the court would really just trying to protect people who are involved in this case. so is it harsh? i think you have to walk in other people's shoes in this situation. and it's really difficult stuff. very difficult . i know the doctors involved

with baby guard were were really, really had trouble with the whole emotionality of the event. >> you know, i completely understand what you're saying in terms of doctors being involved. >> and later on in life. but we're dealing with a fully conscious and sentient young patient. paul what do you feel about all the machinations of what's going on today and what's what's going on today and what's what's happened today ? and in what's happened today? and in the case overall ? the case overall? >> well, that's what makes it different to lots of these other cases. different to lots of these other cases . the one that malcolm cases. the one that malcolm alluded to there, i think was talking about alfie evans, which i know a bit about. i was i was slightly involved in that one as well . um, but slightly involved in that one as well. um, but in this one you had a conscious patient who was clear about what she wanted. she wanted more treatment . and so in wanted more treatment. and so in this case, the courts never got this case, the courts never got this far as to say that it was in her best interest to die , in her best interest to die, which often they do in these cases. but it was heading that way. and i don't see how that

logic where you have someone who says even if there's a very , says even if there's a very, very small chance of her surviving, of getting better , surviving, of getting better, who says, i want to live, i want to try this treatment , i want to to try this treatment, i want to try and go on living . and if try and go on living. and if they want to do that, it seems like the same logic as involuntary euthanasia to be saying, no, you must be stopped from getting what treatment you want . want. >> dr. kendrick, why not? cost is a human life. >> dr. kendrick, why not? cost is a human life . a life that is a human life. a life that wants to keep living . and at wants to keep living. and at what cost would the nhs put on that life ? that life? >> well, there's a fraught question, isn't it? the nice, obviously. look at treatments and they have to decide what is the cost of one year of perfect quality of life with a treatment and they they do make these decisions and these decisions are are made there very rarely overtly said a human life is worth £2.1 million or or

whatever . but obviously worth £2.1 million or or whatever. but obviously you have to balance things. if somebody wants a treatment that costs £150 million, that may or may not work, you would you would clearly say, well, that just cannot be afforded . we can't do cannot be afforded. we can't do this. and that's true. but that's but sorry, sorry to interrupt you . interrupt you. >> it seems that there is there is a price on a human life. the nhs. what limit would you put on the nhs trusts spending money on legal proceedings to end a human life. paul what? how much should the nhs be allowed to spend of taxpayers money trying to end a human life ? human life? >> well, the system is fundamentally broken, isn't it? because it's pitting families and doctors at at odds with each other because is the government and the nhs will never want to say and i don't know whether it's a motivation of theirs. they won't want to say ever. we want to turn the treatment off because. because it's costing

too much. they never want to say that and they probably don't think that either. but in this case want you know, the case they want you know, the family wanted to raise the money to go somewhere else, to be off the books altogether either. and it was heading to a situation where they were completely stopped from doing that. and the transparency order made her completely nameless , made made completely nameless, made made it impossible to realistically fundraise , to actually raise the fundraise, to actually raise the to money, try and go somewhere else, to go to try try experimental treatment in north america. so the it was a transparency order most of all in this case that made it impossible for to her seek that treatment. and that's what i think is most unjust, unjust about this one. >> doctor kendrick , do you have >> doctor kendrick, do you have sympathy with the family in the fact that this transparency , fact that this transparency, this orwellian transparency order which is a gagging order, prevented the family from raising funds to give her one last chance at life and when we look at images of this, this young woman, we don't see a

woman who's given up on life or who looks particularly ill. should we as a society always fight for the primacy of the right to life above all other things as that's a big question. >> but i think that my own view on this, and i don't know exactly what the legal details were. yes. if somebody has got capacity and they're of a certain age and they they wish to make a decision to raise money to go and try a treatment elsewhere in the world, then my personal opinion is that they should be allowed to do this because that is their decision . because that is their decision. ian, i think that one of the problems is, of course sometimes these treatments are held out by people who well, they're trying to make money, to be frank, on their treatments . and you can their treatments. and you can raise false hope sometimes you have to come to terms with things and people desperately searching and searching and

searching and searching and searching and searching and searching and costing themselves millions when realistically, it's just not to going work. it you know, i mean, they can make that decision, obviously , but i that decision, obviously, but i think there should be, you know , think to an extent, , i think that to an extent, there's two different things here. nhs have said, here. should the nhs have said, well, do any more for well, we can't do any more for you? the answer was yes you? i think the answer was yes . well, should you stop somebody searching for a treatment? well, i think no, but should be i think no, but you should be quite straightforward with them and realistic . there is no and say realistic. there is no cure for this disease . it is cure for this disease. it is going to terminal. cure for this disease. it is going to terminal . yes. going to be terminal. yes. somehow or other, we have to contend with that. yeah. >> thank you very much. yeah, there are an awful lot of people who've awful lot of who've made an awful lot of money out of treatments that don't you, dr. don't work. thank you, dr. malcolm kendrick and paul huxley from christian concern . right from christian concern. right tonight, i am asking you, is the nhs fit for purpose? email me at gbviews@gbnews.com or tweet me at alonzo fox or at gb news. also yes, the overlords. that's

a gb news hq also yes, the overlords. that's a gb news h0 is still insisting on keeping the balance on it. >> a sound like this. >> a sound like this. >> isn't it fun? that's why i love my friday nights . that's love my friday nights. that's what to tell me is that i have gone too far. shall we hear it one last time ? isn't it great? one last time? isn't it great? >> right. well, i'm sure we won't need it for any more than once in the rest of the show. >> in fact , it will probably >> in fact, it will probably come in handy in a moment because we're about to discuss the massive aura around russell brand . allegations do not vanish brand. allegations do not vanish

news radio. >> yeah. shemesh welcome back. you are watching and listening to gb news with me. lawrence fox now video site rumble has revealed that it was asked by uk

parliamentary committee to cut russell brand's income after accusations of rape and sexual assault were made against the high profile comedian and actor . brand strongly denies the allegations, but dame caroline dunnage, chair of the parliament's media committee , parliament's media committee, told rumble she was concerned he could profit from his content on the site . rumble have dismissed the site. rumble have dismissed this and say they will not cancel. join a cancel culture mob here to discuss this, i'm delighted to welcome nigel nelson. the senior political commentator here at gb news and tv personality and broadcaster precious muir. nigel is brand a victim of trial by media here? >> no, i don't think he is. and when it comes to what happened with rumble , they didn't say , with rumble, they didn't say, you must do this. rumble seems to have either misread the letter from caroline dinnage or don't understand how the uk parliament works, because obviously parliament can't ban anything on its own . so what

anything on its own. so what happened there was that rumble seemed to seem to think caroline dinenage was demanding that they demonetise at the very least, russell brand . and that is not russell brand. and that is not what she was saying. she was asking for their policy on on how they do it and the particular bit of this worrying is whether or not he got the video denying the allegations monetised. anyway, if he made a profit out of that. >> right. precious you've got to experience in tv. what do you make of these allegations ? make of these allegations? >> right. well, i don't actually know russell brand at all, so i can't really speak on him . but i can't really speak on him. but i do know, obviously, the industry very i'm the big very well. i'm around the big dogs all day long and, you know, the kind of situation that i've been in. for example, i met hugh hefner at the playboy mansion , hefner at the playboy mansion, and my experience him was and my experience with him was perfectly fine. had a great perfectly fine. i had a great experience i lovely time experience. i had a lovely time . and any time i work with them, i was always happy and it was fine . but everybody has fine. but everybody has a different experience . so different experience. so obviously experience that

obviously the experience that russell brand has had with one person is not going to be the same another. so these same with another. so these allegations to and allegations, we have to wait and see they're or not. see if they're true or not. that's the purpose of going to judge to court and everything like that. we haven't . like that. we haven't. >> the question probably >> i think the question probably the question is, seeing as we haven't to a judge or even haven't got to a judge or even a police interview. exactly. at this juncture . yeah. you this juncture. yeah. do you think possibly this trial think that possibly this trial by media rather than trial by police investigation, do you think it's a bit hurried ? think it's a bit hurried? >> and i think that working for channel 4 myself, i have done numerous shows on channel 4. and the reason behind all of those things is, is the investigation has to process. and i believe that channel 4 goes through a situation of processing those investigations as i haven't worked on the shows that i've done open house for example . and done open house for example. and it was just easy going. i was just able to be casted. there is a process . s so we have to just able to be casted. there is a process. s so we have to kind of wait and i social media of wait and i agree social media has to wait see the process

has to wait and see the process to see where this goes. but i believe in consent and working on a show like open house where i was amongst very open minded , i was amongst very open minded, free spirited individuals, the fact is you still have to get consent from everybody there. you can't just take advantage or try to, you know, do something that may be necessary. the other person's not consenting to . and person's not consenting to. and i think that is the key factor here. >> and the trial by media thing that i mean, are you suggesting that i mean, are you suggesting that the sunday times and channel 4 shouldn't have published the investigation they had done ? i mean, if you put the had done? i mean, if you put the allegations out there, you can always argue that someone is being tried by media, but actually they can only ever be tried in a court of law. and what should follow this follow ? what should follow this follow? this is actually due process . so this is actually due process. so in the event the police have the evidence case against russell brand or that's where he should finally appear. brand or that's where he should finally appear . and as far as finally appear. and as far as the actual investigations go,

you can't do nowadays, you can't do an investigate unless you have some pretty good evidence to start it under the under press rules, under the under the regulator, they demand that you don't go on a fishing expedition . you don't wake up one morning and say, oh, let's go get russell they had to. russell brand. they had to. there's something persuasive . there's something persuasive. >> there's a process to it. for them to lead to something like this. that's right. i mean, as i said, i went on several shows with channel 4. i know, i know there process. can't with channel 4. i know, i know ther be process. can't with channel 4. i know, i know ther be putrocess. can't with channel 4. i know, i know therbe putrocythese can't with channel 4. i know, i know therbe putrocythese things. with channel 4. i know, i know ther be are rocythese things. with channel 4. i know, i know ther be are being ese things. with channel 4. i know, i know therbe are being investigated. things are being investigated. we wait and see. but we have to wait and see. but channel 4 wouldn't you channel 4 wouldn't just, you know, a show know, kind of put out a show there saying. so there like you're saying. so investigations must have been done least year what done at least a year from what i watched documentary . so watched on the documentary. so we have to kind of wait and we just have to kind of wait and see. what what i would see. but what i'm what i would say that obviously, say is that obviously, as a woman industry , i've had say is that obviously, as a wcnavigate industry , i've had say is that obviously, as a wcnavigate myselfstry , i've had say is that obviously, as a wcnavigate myself and i've had say is that obviously, as a wcnavigate myself and have had say is that obviously, as a wcnavigate myself and have toj to navigate myself and have to you know, i had to be strong in certain circumstances where i feel like i could be in a in a position where i'm uncomfortable. know, and i'm

uncomfortable. you know, and i'm having to deal with very, very influential , very, very strong influential, very, very strong minded individuals who can either ruin your career or make it better. you know ? so this is it better. you know? so this is do you think do you think we're right? i'm in on a daily basis and it hasn't stopped. this is the still this day. the industry still to this day. yeah, i was an actor for 22 years and i, i could bury most celebrity is right that are famous. >> i mean, we all have their behaviour back in the day right? i could bury things that were we were okay with then back then can't can i get my question out quickly ? are we correct to judge quickly? are we correct to judge people today in today's very, very heightened, you know, as you talk about, you know, the positive side of it being consent, but in in in today's very heightened , socially aware very heightened, socially aware status are we came capable and should we be capable of judging people in this current value system as opposed to the one that existed when russell brand

was knocking his way about the world along with every single celeb i knew? >> but what but what the blurred line is there, which is a really key point i would really key point that i would really like is the general like to make is that the general pubuc like to make is that the general public the general public overall, the general public, that rape and public, think that rape and sexual assault is by complete stranger , when in fact the stranger, when in fact the statistics have shown that sexual assault and rape has been done by somebody, you know. so this is what we need to make sure that the general public understand that it doesn't have to be this random incident where this random stranger has assaulted that person . but it's assaulted that person. but it's also a key factor that it could be somebody, you know. so that has to be clear. so it's like, you know, at the end of the day , those kind of situations do happen. , those kind of situations do happen . now, we don't know if happen. now, we don't know if those are true, but this is what the society thinks. the mindset of society thinks. and automatically you love and automatically when you love someone dearly, they can't comprehend a beautiful celebrity that idolise could do such that they idolise could do such a thing. >> that's a more complicated issue, but very it's issue, but it's very it's absolutely worth raising in terms . a final word?

absolutely worth raising in terryeah, . a final word? absolutely worth raising in terryeah, just . a final word? absolutely worth raising in terryeah, just simplyinal word? absolutely worth raising in terryeah, just simply that word? absolutely worth raising in terryeah, just simply that in rd? >> yeah, just simply that in answer to that direct question on that, you're right that on that, yes, you're right that the attitudes different the attitudes were different ten, 15 years ago . promiscuity ten, 15 years ago. promiscuity was was actually more accepted . was was actually more accepted. and russell brand's sense of humour was also more acceptable. whether it should be or not is another matter. rape was a crime then and a serious and abhorrent crime. it's a crime now, and thatis crime. it's a crime now, and that is what we must focus on. it's the allegations which he denies. and that's why due process must take place. >> i mean, when i went for my first theatre tour in the guestbook of the place where you'd stay, it would say, l d landlady does . and then landlady does. and then underneath that it would suddenly say, sometimes say l d d landlady's daughter does . so d landlady's daughter does. so times have changed anyway. >> times have changed. thank you to my guests, nigel nelson and precious muir. >> you're watching and listening to gb news. coming up, sunak u—turns on net zero. is school now optional? and our footpaths
